Abstract: A plant serves as a mean for production of a fibre web of synthetic fibres, such as plastic fibres and absorbent fibres, such as viscose and cellulose fibres. The plant includes a forming head preliminary to lay a homogeneously and smoothly distributed fibre layer on a net shaped wire. Furthermore the plant includes a hydro-entangling section with liquid nozzles with powerful liquid jets to treat the in the forming head formed fibre layer, which consists of both synthetic—and absorbent fibres. The plant also includes an oven subsequently to thermal bond the synthetic fibres with cross bonds in the affected areas. Finally the dried web is winded up in a roller. By the help of the plant according to the invention, by higher production speed than known previously a fibre web can be produced, which is far cheaper, and which has a better and more homogeneous structure than similar conventional fibre webs.

Title: Cellulose modifiee en surface, utilisee en remplacement de la farine basses calories
Inventor: KLEMANN LAWRENCE P
IPC: A23L29/262
Filed: 1998-11-03
Abstract: Selon cette invention, on modifie la cellulose en surface par enrobage ou par acylation au moyen d'acides aliphatiques avec C2 à C24, dans certains cas essentiellement avec C6 à C22 ou, d'une manière plus restreinte, avec C16 à C20, et ce afin d'obtenir des esters de cellulose présentant un degré de substitution d'environ 0,05 ou moins, de préférence d'environ 0,01 ou moins. On utilise la cellulose modifiée en surface comme substitut de glucides basse calories dans des compositions comestibles comportant un ingrédient glucidique. Dans certains modes de réalisation, on utilise l'ingrédient basses calories au lieu de l'ingrédient amidon dans des produits panés cuits tels que les biscuits. Dans certains de ces modes de réalisation, les biscuits préparés avec de la cellulose modifiée en surface contiennent en outre un agent de tartinage tel que le polydextrose; dans ces produits, les esters de cellulose servent non seulement à contrôler le tartinage mais aussi à réduire les calories. Dans ces modes de réalisation ainsi que dans certains autres, les produits alimentaires peuvent contenir peu de graisses ou un substitut de graisses basses calories et/ou un édulcorant artificiel, et ce pour diminuer davantage les calories.

Inventor: VAN GEMEN BOB
IPC: C12Q1/6865
Filed: 1998-11-11
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a transcription based amplification method for the amplification of DNA targets. With the method of the present invention an isothermal transcription based amplification method is provided for the amplification of double stranded DNA. The method of the present invention for the amplification of double stranded DNA comprises the steps of contacting said double stranded DNA with at least one oligonucleotide comprising a sequence complementary to a part of the first of the two DNA strands comprised in the double stranded DNA, said oligonucleotide further comprising the sequence of a promoter recognized by a RNA polymerase; a further olignucleotide comprising a sequence complementary to a part of the second strand comprised in the double stranded DNA; an enzyme having RNA dependent DNA polymerase activity; an enzyme having DNA dependent DNA polymerase activity; an enzyme having RNase H activity; an enzyme having RNA polymerase activity, and maintaining the thus created reaction mixture under the appropriate conditions for a sufficient amount of time for the amplification to take place. The method according to the invention is particularly useful for amplifying small DNA molecules, e.g. plasmid DNA. Surprisingly, transcription based amplification can start from double stranded DNA, without the need to treat the DNA with restriction enzymes or, what is more important, to separate the strands before hand by applying heat. All reagents conventionally used with isothermal transcription based amplification reactions can simply be used on starting material containing double stranded DNA, as if it where single stranded RNA. With the present invention it has now been found that essentially the same protocols can be used for isothermal transcription based amplification of double stranded DNA. The method is particularly useful for the detection of small DNA molecules of pathogenic microorganisms enabling diagnosis. In particular the circular HIV-1 DNA molecules that are formed during the replication of the HIV-1 virus can be detected by this method. Detection of such circular HIV-1 DNA molecules indicates active replication of the virus, which can be correlated with disease progression, i.e. development of AIDS.
